- Analyses of Coals in the United States with Descriptions of Mine and Field Samples Collected between July 1, 1904 and June 30, 1910: Part 1. -- Analyses
- From Significance and value of Analyses of Coal: "The analyses published in this report cover samples of coal collected in many different parts of the country with unusual care by experiences men, in such manner as to make them representative of extensive beds of coal."
- Analyses of Coals in the United States with Descriptions of Mine and Field Samples Collected between July 1, 1904 and June 30, 1910 Part 2. Descriptions of Samples
- From Introduction: "This volume contains the descriptions of the samples whose analyses are published in the preceding volume, Part I of this bulletin. The descriptions have been compiled from the notebooks of the persons who collected the samples, have been condensed from accounts given in published reports of the United States Geological Survey, or have furnished by the collection themselves. Inasmuch as the descriptions represent the work of many persons during a period of six years, and inasmuch as they were recorded under widely differing conditions, they necessarily vary in fullness detail."
- Mining Program: Bureau of Mines Oil-Shale Project, Rifle, Colorado
- Report issued by the Bureau of Mines on the development of efficient mining methods for producing oil shale. Characteristics of the oil shale deposits of the Green River are presented. The results of core drilling and sampling in this area are also listed. This report includes tables, illustrations, maps, and photographs.
- Synthetic Liquid Fuels: Annual Report of the Secretary of the Interior for 1952; Part 2 - Oil from Oil Shale
- Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over an annual study of synthetic liquid fuel production. Results of the annual study are discussed. This report includes maps, tables, illustrations, and photographs.
- Green River Formation Lithology and Oil Shale Correlations in the Piceance Creek Basin, Colorado
- Report issued by the Bureau of Mines discussing the oil-shale formations of the Green River in the Piceance Creek Basin. Detailed descriptions of oil-shale samples taken from the Green River formation are presented. This report includes tables, maps, illustrations, and a photograph.
- Earthquake Resistance of Earth and Rock-Fill Dams, Report 2: Analysis of Response of Rifle Gap Dam to Project Rulison Underground Nuclear Detonation
- Summary: The motion of Rifle Gap Dam was measured in September 1969 during the Project RULISON underground nuclear explosion. The observed response was then compared with the response computed in a mathematical model. Observed and computed responses were similar. From this study it appears that the mathematical models used are applicable to the design and analysis of soil structures, at least for ground motion intensities comparable to those observed at Rifle Gap Dam. (p. xi).
- Ground-Water Potential of the Leadville Limestone on the White River Uplift in Garfield and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado
- Purpose and scope: This report describes a preliminary reconnaissance of the water-bearing properties of the Mississippian Leadville Limestone in the western part of the White River Uplift (synonymous with the White River Plateau). The purpose of this preliminary investigation is to determine areas of the Leadville Limestone suitable for exploratory drilling and testing at relatively shallow depths to confirm the quality of water in storage.
- Digital Model of Ground-Water Flow in the Piceance Basin, Rio Blanco and Garfield Counties, Colorado
- This report presents a "digital model used to simulate ground-water flow in the aquifer system in a basin drained by Piceance and Yellow Creeks, Colorado." It includes maps, diagrams, and tables.
- Mineralogy and Geology of the Vanadium-Uranium Deposit of the Rifle and Garfield Mines, Garfield County, Colorado
- A report about the vanadium-uranium deposit at the Rifle and Garfield mines which lies in the Wingate sandstone and the overlying Entrada sandstone.
- Geologic Reconnaissance of the Northwestern White River Plateau, Rio Blanco and Garfield Counties, Colorado
- Discussing a geologic reconnaissance of the northwestern White River Plateau, in Rio Blanco and Garfield counties, Colorado.
